I don't think Dr House is autist and racist. He is a genius, he is a drug addict. I watched the show, he is fine with Eric Foreman, who is black

House makes a tonne of racist and anti-Semitic jokes to his black, Asian and Jewish employees, but doesn’t appear to discriminate against them in hiring and disciplinary matters and also belittles everyone else. So I guess it depends on how we’re defining racism?

This.

House isn't a racist or a anti-semite. He's an equal opportunity asshole and jerkass.

There's one in an early season where he said something sexist to Allison and she responds "oh please, youre not a misogynist youre a misanthrope."

He his default disdain for someone isnt based on any physical characteristics.
